Sight Anointed

Blind and blind
and awake O sleeper.
I'm tired, but I may be awake.
When do I see?
When I see I don't see, I see.
Small, slight, unobtrusive,
the light can be seen;
though it would be
better to not have a king.
Olive oil and wine poured,
tasted and absorbed.
Anoint with spit and mud,
words' liquid and earth.
Awake O sleeper, see.

(1 Samuel 16:1b, 6-7, 10-13a; Psalm 23; Ephesians 5:8-14; John 9:1-41)
